Sayulita [5”x7” ink & watercolor]

We visited Sayulita on Saturday to watch the surfers and see the local Saturday bustle. It is about a 40 minute ride on the local bus service – FAR advanced relative to Calgary’s transit system. The seats were comfortable and softened the bumpy roads somewhat. We had a lovely walk on the beach, in fact the guys in this sketch could be Ron and Stu contemplating renting a board, jk! The sea was very rough on the outer shore so with red flags flying we were very careful.

Later we enjoyed watching the Huichal ladies in the plaza making their colorful items for sale…. Mexico feels wonderful, safe and warm. That said, we are being very cautious while we enjoy! Hasta Luego!

About Me

I began a passionate pursuit of art in 2005 after a career as a financial analyst [CMA]. No longer able to work due to chronic pain, I sought out art as a pastime, much like Winston Churchill who took up painting after leaving the Admiralty in 1915. In Painting as a Pastime, Mr Churchill says
“how varied are the delights which may be gained by those who enter hopefully and thoughtfully upon the pathway of painting; how enriched they will be in their daily vision, how fortified in their independence, how happy in their leisure.”
Creating art refocused me on life’s joys and simple pleasures - no other treatment or activity has been as healing as taking up my paint brush.
A painting session might be meditative, prayerful or playful – but the journey itself is healing.
